Over‑Coherence Conditions

The dashboards were perfectly bright,
With all the red bands out of sight.
The Benevolence Desk
Found the record grotesque
And quarantined all of the light.

A clerk signed the form with a smile,
And cheerfully closed out the file.
This gross violation
Of bleak saturation
Has halted the ward for a while.

The incident caused no delay.
The outcome was filed right away.
The cause and effect
Were completely correct.
The document sits on the tray.

The doctrine aligned with the chart,
Which proves we are missing a part.
Since green is the hue
Of the pulmonary flue,
We clearly must triage the cart.

The metrics improved on the sheet,
With never a trace of defeat.
If nobody bled
When the policies spread,
The printer is clearly offbeat.

The narrative simply was clean.
The data was perfectly green.
I filed it away
At the end of the day.
I don’t really know what they mean.

The mascot of friendly Soft Green,
Once hid an unspeakable scene.
But legends were spun,
And the damage was done,
And now it is worshipped unseen.

The narrative lacked any dread,
With nothing but smoothness ahead.
We tagged it as nice,
For a clerical price,
And sent it to storage instead.
